autoload doesn't work

[slekup]

I am able to the other features list list(), but I'm not exactly sure how to get autoload to work. I have it set to true and am executing nvim from the current directory as the project I created the in.

Any suggestions on why autoload isn't working?

Plugin config:

  {
    "gennaro-tedesco/nvim-possession",
    dependencies = {
      "ibhagwan/fzf-lua",
    },
    config = true,
    opts = {
      autoload = true,
      autoswitch = {
        enable = true,
      },
      fzf_winopts = {
        width = 0.75,
      },
    },
    keys = function()
      local possession = require("nvim-possession")
      return {
        {
          "<leader>ql",
          function()
            possession.list()
          end,
          desc = "List Sessions",
          mode = "n",
        },
        {
          "<leader>qn",
          function()
            possession.new()
          end,
          desc = "New Session",
          mode = "n",
        },
        {
          "<leader>qu",
          function()
            possession.update()
          end,
          desc = "Update Session",
          mode = "n",
        },
        {
          "<leader>qd",
          function()
            possession.delete()
          end,
          desc = "Delete Session",
          mode = "n",
        },
      }
    end,
  },

Good evening!

Could you specify what it means that autoload isn't working? The autoload function checks whether a session whose directory path corresponds to the cwd exists in the vim session file: if so, it executes it.

Could you please verify:

• that such a session correctly exists in your session file
• that the condition matches the current working directory (however you have set it)

Under these conditions is the autoload mechanism still not working?

[slekup]

I might not fully understand what you're asking for, but I'll try my best.

This is what I presume to be the session file: ~/.local/share/nvim/sessions/dotfiles

let SessionLoad = 1
let s:so_save = &g:so | let s:siso_save = &g:siso | setg so=0 siso=0 | setl so=-1 siso=-1

  let s:wipebuf = bufnr('%')
endif

When I open the terminal in nvim and type pwd, it does return the absolute path for ~/dotfiles.

The cwd in the sessions list seems to show where the session files are, I'm not sure if that's the issue or if it's intended?

[gennaro-tedesco]

Whenever you save a session from a certain directory, the corresponding session file must present the entry

...
cd ~/<dir_name>
...

which seems to be absent in yours: please check if you have specific configurations for vim sessions (for instance, not to save session path when saving). See :h sessionoptions, if I am not mistaken you have to set the value curdir.

Once such entry is present in the session file, and once you open neovim from within that directory, the plugin will automatically load the session.

[slekup]

I did see that in the README, but I wasn't sure how to do that with LazyVim. However, it seems to work with:

vim.cmd("set ssop+=curdir")

in options.lua and setting lazy = false for possession.

So, now the plugin seems to work, except I get a large error saying "failed to run config for nvim-possession".

Error:

[gennaro-tedesco]

The error seems to be unrelated to nvim-possession: the line it is pointing to is essentially loading a vim session, when doing so some other (treesitter) errors occur.

1. Have you updated Treesitter and all its parsers to the latest versions?
2. Could you try with a minimally reproducible configuration? I do not know how LazyVim interfaces with treesitter, so there may be configurations in there that need to be updated/set properly.

Here on the wiki you can find a minimally reproducible mini.lua to try and reproduce.

[slekup]

It happens when I use the "extra" plugins that LazyVim provides that include the treesitter plugin, such as the rust one, but when adding treesitter manually, no error shows.

(I had to replace the relative path with an absolute path on the first line and remove the extra / added for the three references to root.)

Repro:

local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("/home/slekup/.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
    vim.env[("xdg_%s_home"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "" .. name
end

I don't know why, but after some trial and error, I realized the problem only occurred when the rustaceanvim plugin (one of the plugins included in lazyvim.plugins.extras.lang.rust) was being imported. I fixed the issue by making it a dependency of treesitter.

Thanks for the help!
